Moving from StreetSmart Pro to StreetSmart Edge FAQ

Downloading StreetSmart Edge will not change your existing installation of StreetSmart Pro. By downloading StreetSmart Edge you will be provided access to Schwab's newest trading platform while retaining full access to StreetSmart Pro. Downloading, and creating layouts in StreetSmart Edge will have no effect on your existing StreetSmart Pro layouts.

To run both platforms side-by-side, please reference Schwab's recommended system requirements to ensure that your system has the necessary resources to run both platforms.

StreetSmart Edge uses natural workflows and brings commonly used features to the forefront to deliver a sophisticated yet easy-to-use experience. Layouts are more user-friendly, easier to navigate and more visually appealing. Many Traders will benefit from the improved workflow, and great new tools. Some of the new features you will see are:

• Symbol Hub which links the most popular trade tools together so you can get started without having to add individual tools to your layouts.
• The Mini Chart Carousel at the bottom of Symbol Hub that allows you to flip through the list of most recently viewed symbols.
• You can save Chart tabs, Watch Lists, and layouts as individual files that you can keep as a record or email to friends.
• You can drag individual tools to other monitors to create secondary layout containers on other monitors. This gives you the flexibility to customize your workspace to best meet your needs and support your strategy.
• StreetSmart Edge has integrated fundamental data in the platform so you do not have to navigate to Schwab.com. You can access data like P/E ratio, dividend yield, and earnings quickly, when you need it.
• Option traders can now chart Options, get Options Participant Top of Book data and view customized sets of data in one place; reducing the time it takes to go from research to trade.

Options carry a high level of risk and are not suitable for all investors. Certain requirements must be met to trade options through Schwab. Multiple leg options strategies will involve multiple commissions. Please read the options disclosure document titled "Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options." Member SIPC
